VW Scirocco: VW's all-new coupé is official!

"Wheels24" has the news that the VW Scirocco is official! And it will be shown at next year's SEMA.

Volkswagen has given the first official hint that it is to build a 2+2 coupe which will revive the Scirocco nameplate.

In a media release about the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, VW USA included the following paragraph:

"VW's current technical strengths and enriched model lines are simply one wave of a torrent of new models, including a new Passat with a larger, more powerful V6, the next GTI, the Eos hardtop convertible, and, further down the line, a 2+2 sport coupe that hearkens to the heyday of the Scirocco. Look for more exciting Volkswagens at next year's SEMA Show."

Although there have been a lot of rumours for sometime that VW is to add a coupe model to its line-up, this is the first confirmation that the carmaker has such plans.

We expect that VW will launch the new Scirocco in 2008.
